Andreas Kisser:"It is always hard to change a member, especially such great musicians like Max"

I bet Andreas Kisser would love to be interviewed without being asked about Max Cavalera, if not just once. I would also bet that Max would love, just once, to be interviewed without being asked about a Sepultura reunion. In the excerpt below, MetalPaths.com interviewed Sepultura’s Andreas Kisser. I only quoted two of three parts where the Cavalera word was dropped.

Have you listened to the “Cavalera Conspiracy” debut album? Do you think that maybe one day will happen to co-operate again with Max and Igor?

I’ve heard the album, it is not bad but they could do a lot better. For what people was expecting, I think it is very weak. Who knows what the future will be? This is something we don’t think about, I am looking forward to see, respecting our past but working towards the future.

Jean Dolabella is a pretty good drummer though and has left the worldwide press with the greatest impressions and there is no need I guess to mention Derrick’s great work all these years. Was it difficult for you to find members who would perfectly fit to the band?

It is always hard to change a member, especially such great musicians like Max and Igor but we are lucky to find even better ones like Derrick and Jean. They are exceptional guys and musicians, who are helping Sepultura on every level.

This was a pretty good interview. I would love to be able to meet and interview Andreas one day. I missed my chance to see Sepultura with the classic line up back in 96, right before the split.
